Important Author's Notes: I am so sorry at how long this took. I will try updating more often. Also, I'd like to send a shout-out, or whatever this would be, to Knight of Kanto ( u/4356674/Knight-of-Kanto). His story, Ash's Journey Through Hoenn( s/9922808/1/Ash-s-Journey-Through-Hoenn), has just reached it's year mark. Damn, I hope these links work. Check the story out.
Amanda stood up in front of the seated trainers with a microphone. "Welcome... to the... Loser's... CUP! Sorry, but I had to do that. O.k. so first up will be Gary, the Motherfucking Faggot, Oak and Zubat. Bad Matchup for Zubat, but maybe he can work with it. Battle begin!"
"O.k. Zubat, let's go! Start with Cross-Poison!"
"Take it, then return the attack with Iron Head."
Zubat stopped flying and put his wings together. He created an X of liquid toxins and uncrossed his wings, sending it at Aron. Aron just lowered his head and let it hit.
Then he jumped into the air with his head glowing silver. Zubat instinctively swerved out of the way and Aron fell back to the ground.
"Use Dig now."
"Use Cross-Poison on the ground. Try and swamp it out."
Aron hit the ground and immediately started digging itself into a hole. Zubat used Cross-Poison over and over on the ground till it was covered in a swamp of poison.
When Aron came up out of the ground, he immediately slipped and fell back into the hole.
"O.k., now that it can't move, use Brave Wing!"
"Okay Aron. Use Iron Head to block it, then I want you to use Roar to get that ugly bat away from you," Gary whispered. Aron nodded in understanding.
"Bite."
Zubat flew up high and came down glowing blue. When he pulled out of the dive, the energy turned into a harsh, flame-looking red. His wings had turned silver. The Aron managed to turn over and held out his silvery-glowing head to meet it right on. At the last minute, Zubat pulled up and came down on the other side of Aron. He hit him with his wings and then latched onto Aron's head, gnawing at it with glowing white teeth. Aron tried to run away but slipped in the toxic mud. Zubat let go and flew back up. Then she rinsed and repeated. In no time at all, Aron was rendered completely motionless, and couldn't even hit the fast-moving Zubat with Roar to prevent it hitting him. Zubat kept hitting him with repeated Steel Wings. Eventually, Aron just keeled over and died (wait, seriously? Pokémon still don't die? God damnit son of a bitch. Fine.). Correction, Aron still had the swirls in his eyes. He'd just fainted.
Amanda scowled in anger. "Zubat wins." She looked at Zenaere. "Are you going to attempt using that Elekid again?"
Zenaere looked down at Elekid's pokeball. Drako saw the look on her face and decided to step in.
"Why don't we just take a break and draw up the board?" he suggested. "It'd make things easier and quicker in the long run."
Amanda thought about it a moment and then agreed.
Everyone but Zenaere and Drako dispersed. Drako walked up to her and knelt down.
"Hey Azeezee."
She looked up at him. "Azeezee?" she asked, sounding confused.
Drako laughed and smiled at her. "You know, nicknames instill a sense of friendship with people and Pokemon. Thus, Zardevoira and Twinkle. Also, Azeezee."
"If you want me to give Elekid a nickname, just say it."
Drako grinned again. "I don't want you to give him a nickname. I want you to want you to give him a nickname."
Zenaere pinched the bridge of her nose in irritation. "That doesn't make sense. Besides, it won't work anyway."
"How do you know?"
Zenaere opened her mouth, then closed it again. She looked at Elekid's pokeball then tossed it in the air, releasing the plug headed Pokémon.
"Elekidddd!"
"Hello Elekid. I was thinking, would you like a nickname? It might help us get along better."
"Ele..." the Electric pokemon said, considering Zenaere's offer.
